Hearing Symphony #3: Jeu divin -- Alexander Scriabin
I've gotten recent e-mail from some AIM bloggers wanting to know how to put big pictures (which to say, pictures not on You've Got Pictures/ AOL Pictures) on their AIM Blogs. The answer is that you can do it the same way as AOL Journalers, which is by uploading your pictures into your AOL Hometown space. Here's what to do.
1. First, take the picture you want to show off and prepare it for Web display by making it a reasonable size both in physical dimensions -- no more than 500 pixels in width -- and in file size (try to keep it under 75kb for those folks on dial up). Save the picture in a place you can find it easily: a pictures folder or the desktop of your computer.
2. Once you've done that, go to AOL Hometown's main page. Sign in if you need to by entering your AIM screenname and password.
3. Once you've signed in, click on the AOL Hometown: File Manager link (currently located just below the "Editor's Weekly Picks." This will whisk you away to the File Manager page.
4. Click the "Add New Files" button, and when the new page has opened, add your picture by clicking on one of the "Browse" buttons and then locating your picture file on your computer. Once you've added your picture (or pictures -- you can upload up to four at a time) click "OK." Your picture will be uploaded.
5. Once you've finished, go ahead and write up an entry. When you get to th "Add an Entry" page, click on the "Add Pictures From Hometown" link. You'll see a listing of the pictures you've uploaded. Select the one you want. You can also add pictures to the body of your text by using the "Add Image" button (the one that looks like a camera) and typing in the picture's URL.
And that's how it's done. The picture you see above (the birdbath in the front yard with a scrim of ice on it -- it was cold overnight around here) is one I uploaded into my AIM Blog hometown space, so I can tell you it works. Enjoy your pictures!

Wow. A journal. FTP space. Email. Screen name. All that for free!
You're welcome! -
Thank you John! I knew I couldn't have been the only AIM blogger who hated those teeny tiny pictures. My Cats and Feet Monday Photo needed to be bigger.
